25 "PRIZE VARIETIES" JAPANESE 

 CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



The hybrids from the Japanese section are exceedingly inter- 

 esting in their varied forms and markings, together with the 

 enormous size of the flowers of some of the varieties, many of 

 them being five inches in diameter. They also, in some of the 

 varieties, possess the valuable property of flowering during the 

 winter months, when desired, by pinching off the buds as soon 

 as formed in October. They are as hardy as the ordinary Chi- 

 nese sorts,
